Right now law enforcement officials in most Minnesota counties have no easy way of sharing information about criminals. That means if officials arrest someone in their county, they may not know that the suspect has a criminal record somewhere else in the state. A bill that will be introduced in the upcoming Legislative session would fund the development of a network for tracking criminals. CriMNet would give officials access to criminal justice records statewide. Last session, as part of Katie's Law, the Legislature approved funds to develop a model for such a system. DFL Senator Jane Ranum is the chair of the Senate crime prevention committee, and talks with MPR News.
